Tinsdale is hosting a free milonga for the Houston
Tango Community at his new "Dancing For Life" studio on
Westheimer and Fondren. I have not seen the studio but
Jeffrey says that the dance floor is roughly the size of
the one at the Melody Club and it is newly fitted out
and decorated. All Houston Tango dancers are invited,
details: Where: "Dancing For Life", 2726 Fondren - It
is accross the street from" Elvia's" and next to Luby's
Cafeteria. When: Saturday October 8th from 9 pm to 1 am.
Cost: Gratis, Food and Drink: Jeffrey will provide free

ArgenTango hosts another "Our Practica" this Saturday
evening from 6:30-8:30pm at Dance Art, inside the Sterling
Plaza, 9888 Bellaire Blvd, Suite 166, near Beltway 8,
$3/person at the door. Following the old tradition of
the tangueros in Buenos Aires, we present the Practica as
a time and place to review basics, work on new steps we
have learned, constructively share exercises, comments
and tips with other dancers, and practice what we have
learned before taking it to the social dance floor.
Let's practice and improve our steps all together in
a great spacious dance studio. Casual and friendly
atmosphere. Dress in your every day cloth and yet bring
your best tango shoes because we'll be sliding on a
beautiful wood floor. All Argentine Tango dancers,
students, instructors, and enthusiasts are invited.
